Private Classes
Private classes
Private classes give an individual the opportunity for in-depth exploration of their own bodymind through individually determined yoga postures and techniques for breathing and relaxation related to personal goals for healing.
Judy's interpersonal skills and intuitive gifts provide a loving and secure experience in which these personal issues of health can be addressed through Yoga.
The private session is ideal for the student who is ready to focus and cocreate the ways and means to expand their consciousness and grow into new strength and health mentally, physically and spiritually.
Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy
Whether the catalyst is curiosity or despair, there are times in our lives when we are pressed to change - a relationship, a job, a location, a lifestyle or an attitude.
A time when we are in between the familiar and the unknown. A time of great potential that is calling out for a way to bridge that which needs to fall away and that which wants to be born.
Closely aligned with Yoga
and rooted in the shared premise that all we need to know is already within us all the time, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, created by Australian born Michael Lee, supports us in accessing our inner wisdom for the purpose of transformative growth into more positive and confident living.
In the framework of this powerful body/mind catalyst, the body becomes the vehicle and the teacher
as the Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist guides the client's process through specifically chosen yoga asanas, which she supports. Our body's stored memories, which reside deep within the intelligent memory banks of all of the cells of our tissues, often remain hidden from our awareness and inhibit our ability to break through limiting patterns of thought and behavior. The loving presence and verbal dialogue techniques used during the supported yoga positions creates a protected place in which these emotional and physical tensions can be released, freeing the space for new consciousness to take root and flourish.
Yoga for the Heart
for Cardiac Patients.
The only time the heart rests is between beats.
In this world of fast-paced living and stress, where we just keep going, Yoga for people living and recovering from heart disease offers a way to rest, recover and heal the heart, an overworked and selfless organ.
Niscahala Joy Devi created this program for recovering health through stress management
including the ancient postures of yoga and deep relaxation techniques, for Dr. Dean Ornish's Reversing Heart Disease program. This distinguished work has helped many of its fortunate practitioners to take great strides towards restoring a healthy heart and a new lease on life.
Prenatal Yoga
Pre-Natal Yoga classes provide an intimate and calm environment in which the mother-to-be can sustain good health of body, mind and spirit during her pregnancy and also prepare for labor and birth.
Yoga breathing and safe, gentle stretching combined with visualization and deep relaxation, supports the pregnant woman in developing inner clarity and confidence. As body and mind attune in a state of alert inner focus, inner peace is realized.
I always strive to convey to my Pre-Natal students the importance of being in a relationship of loving kindness and patience with themselves.
Learning the value of caring for themselves and staying connected to their Intuitive Center, which is a foundational aspect of yoga, is a blessing they give to themselves, their children and loved ones. For many students, class may be one of the only opportunities they have for down time and quiet; a chance to unwind and slow down, while gaining new and useful skills.
The felt sense of community in Pre-Natal class offers a safe haven where women can share and learn from each other, as well.
Many friendships have begun here, that may bring an added richness to enjoy beyond class time.
Reiki: The Universal Life Energy
Reiki: The Universal Life Energy
Reiki is a Japanese word representing Universal Life Energy, which is the intelligent life force which is all around us. Reiki sessions are about 1 1/2 hrs long. During this treatment, both the recipient and the practitioner, experience a well-being and relaxation which is of deep comfort. As the Reiki worker lays hands, the healing energy available from the Universe helps the body/mind to rejuvenate and recover, and experience a sense of being deeply bathed in nutrients of peace. It assists the individual to release toxins and energy blocks which can lead to disease and reestablish a state of balance and harmony.
The Ayurvedic Consultation
YOU WILL BE GIVEN A WRITTEN QUESTIONAIRE
o fill out by your Ayurvedic Practitioner that she will analyze in order to determine your elemental constitutional type, Vata, Pitta or Kapha. The preponderance of these elements, Vata---Space and Air, Pitta---Fire and Water, Kapha---Water and Earth will give the underlying template upon which your unique bodymind (Prakriti) is created and from which it can be expertly analyzed by your consultant.
DURING THE INITIAL INTERVIEW
along with the questionnaire, you will be asked about your basic health concerns and issues as well as your daily routines of lifestyle, diet, work, talents, hobbies, practices, and your medical history. The Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis and tongue diagnosis is also taken to provide the Ayurvedic Practitioner with a complete picture that will reveal your physical, mental and spiritual strengths and give valuable information as to any imbalances (Vikruti) and their sources.
RECOMMENDATIONS
may include suggestions for simple changes that can improve conditions related to indigestion, insomnia, poor circulation, inability to concentrate, weight-loss issues, menstrual or menopause issues for women, skin conditions, and long-standing chronic complaints, etc. All recommendations are based upon the basic premise that we are each a uniquely perfect being for whom hope is always possible through gentle, simple and incremental changes, in accordance with our true nature.

General Info
About Us
The Joy of Yoga, is Saratoga Springs, New York's first dedicated yoga studio, and as its slogan reads, "still dedicated". The studio is celebrating its 22nd anniversary. Located at 376 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY, in the historic Arcade Building in the heart of our famous downtown, Joy of Yoga pioneered the yoga movement in this celebrated town, long distinguished by its springs for health and healing. This was a time when the seeds of hatha yoga, sown decades before in the United States by the great masters like BKS Iyengar and Swami Vishnudevananda, were just beginning to really take root and grow. Many of my earliest students came to the first Joy of Yoga studio, in May 1989, with a sense of entering something new and mysterious. Now, far from the realm of a cult, yoga has gained a phenomenal popularity in mainstream American culture, which I consider to be one of the most encouraging developments in today's problem pressed society.
